We're a family that believes you can do things your own way, and this blog is about our adventures doing just that. We try to spend our money thriftily, be healthy, make things instead of buying them, enjoy the simple pleasures of life, and raise our kids to have values that go against the flow of what they're taught by zombie Hitler. Actually just the things they learn from a consumer-oriented world, but that's bad too.

Adventures in Healthy Eating 3: Chocolate Hummus

Lord knows what the kids will think of this as a snack. Erin likes regular hummus and Leigh likes most chocolatey things, so there's a chance :D

It couldn't be easier to make, just chop the dates and then put everything in the food processor.

I didn't chop my dates and they wouldn't process so I had to get them out and chop them after instead. Messy job. -.-

Ta-da, chocolate hummus ready for dipping things in.

And what better than biscuits. Apple slices would be healthier if you want to one up us. :p

Nobody liked it, not even me and I'm usually all over anything chocolate tasting. Which was the problem really, it didn't taste very chocolatey at all. A bit disappointing! We all had a good try of it, even Erin dunked all her biscuits in it. It had a nice texture and was pleasing how it stuck to the biscuits.Back to the drawing board. :)
